TradeStation has Volume or Share Bar charts BUT the missing word is "constant". Despite many requests and enhancement suggestions, TradeStation continues to use uncapped volume bars. This bar may be 520, the next bar may be 480 etc. etc. depending on how the datafeed comes in. It...

I didn't read the entire thread so some of this may have been covered. Futures is the way to go IMHO for the following reasons: Stock daytraders compared to futures traders: 1. Spend a lot of time doing homework (some 8000 possibilities out there) 2. File tax returns that are...

I thought the ES HH at 1436 followed by the HL at 1432.75 (near the close) might get a few bulls out of the pasture and in front of their computers.

Go to the TS EL Forum...several ELD's are posted there for pivots.

I have exactly the same computer you describe right down to the FX 5200 graphics card. I also have IE7 and normally trade with 8-10 charts open on two different platforms. TS doesn't "freeze" on my computer when news lands...worst case I get a bit of lag for a second followed by a burst of...

Amen Alp Visit a VA hospital and imagine yourself "there"....that is government run healthcare up close and personal.....and you can bet the bureaucrats won't be taking advantage of their own invention if healthcare for all becomes the law of the land...

Just one....Multicharts.....or Ensign if it is more to someone's liking. Ask Prof how his method works with random numbers of contracts in each of his volume bars. I can tell you from experience, not nearly as well as it does with constant volume bars.

TradeStation can see that a 5 minute bar should be five minutes....not 4 minutes on this bar and 6 minutes on the next one....perhaps they will eventually see the contradiction of volume bars with an inconsistent number of contracts ...we can only hope....

You might consider using P&F to identify opportunities....stocks poised to break out above resistance.....or below support.....on daily P&Fcharts.....and then monitor them intraday on a 5 minute chart....timing the entry when the breakout occurs and using conventional technical analysis...

TradeStation used to offer P&F charts as a "Style" selection but I see they got rid of it. All of these software companies like TradeStation, ESignal, Ensign, etc. add features to either compete with each other's offerings or drag in users but something get's lost in the translation when you...

I am sure you mean well but you are misleading the thread starter....time and P&F charts are as similar as peanut butter and napalm....one has nothing to do with the other.....

Hi Scalper, Point and figure charts have absolutely NOTHING to do with time. The charts are based on price movement (which you specify)...that's it....time is totally irrelevant.... If you are interested in learning about PF Charts, a book I can recommend is Point and Figure Charting by...

I know I am butting in and out of line.... That said, we all may learn something here.... I doubt Jack is interested in Darryl Guppy and his MMA approach to trading...(from experience, I can tell you it works except when it doesn't)....the copious MA's may obscure what Jack might try to...

TradeStation notifies you of any upgrade to their software....if you have been upgrading when prompted, I don't know of anything else you can do.... There were intermittent problems with futures yesterday, announced in advance..... I had two outages which lasted less than a minute.....having...

Hi Shewey, Makosgu gave you the correct answer. However, from vague memories of my minute chart/indicator days, a lot of index futures traders generally quit the morning session at around 11:45 EST and don't resume in the afternoon till 2:00 EST. You may find you these times need...

Absolutely agree. I trade with guys using ESignal and IB - they find out their datafeed is down by asking me. Easy to bash TradeStation but these other two feeds go down as well and there is no blinking light or sirens to warn them. I can't comment on spot currencies as I don't trade...

Hells bells, the holy grail has been in front of me the whole time and I didn't see it.....I HOPE Amazon has a book left for me to buy.....TA sucks and I never knew it.... Thanks to Surfer for the way forward!....

Trading doesn't have to be as difficult as the ideas in this thread propose. Pivots and guppy(?) lines work except when they don't.... Seek a simpler solution.....

Netmeeting or Hotcomm can do it.....
